Alright I have been reading and trying to root this device for days with no avail, now let me tell you what i did. Before I turned off the phone, you have to literally turn off every wireless connection anything that you connected to at all. Dont turn on air plane mode, just turn off every connection you can. Then What I did was click in the sd card after doing the adb reboot recovery. This worked like a charm. I also edited the drivers of the usb driver file called winusb.inf located at c:\sdk\usb_driver
if you dont have that folder that means you have not installed the usb driver which you can do by opening setup.exe clicking on usb drivers install.
you have to edit the file by including the lines under google nt 86 at end of section
;HTC Incredible
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C9E
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C9E&MI_01
%SingleBootLoaderInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C94
also then put the exact same lines under [Google.NTamd64] at end of section.
Next your going to want to save the file. Then go under device manager, update the drivers that you already have with that file located at c:\sdk\usb_drivers.
Restart if it says you have to.
Then next step use the windows application
hxxp://incredible.groove2.net/IncredibleRooter.zip
mdawg made This. extract put file in location under "c:\sdk\tools".
Then boot into recovery mode.
run loop.bat and begin clicking in and out of the sd card until it changes the error from device not found to that great error. then exit out of loop.bat with ctrl+c. and finish with the application by pushing files and updating zip. This is the hardest card to do. But it worked very first time after i tried updating drivers! I got wireless Tether working and sending this from there .
I used windows xp sp3
This method will work with any windows machine.
New!!! Load USB drivers from http://tether.com/a/setup.exe
Make sure you update your drivers in Device Manager and restart if needed. These are same drivers I used first time, I just forgot that I downloaded tether before hand.

This doesn't help if you cant get the phone into the adb recovery status...
This will help you get the phone into recovery status
Please read and try directions instead of thumbing your nose at me. I have put a lot of time into this and im trying to help. I would like to know if my instructions have helped people so we can try and figure out what exactly it is that helps the device. This helped mine and is considered one of the hardest cards to get working. But please at least try this before I get responses like "this wont help". Your not going to ever get rooted with that attitude.
Re: How to root any htc incredible phone with any SD Card. Full proof instructions!
Thanks for the tips, but I think you need to be more careful about using definite statements like 'any card' and 'any PC'. We know from the unRevoked guys that radios and cards play a role, so you're right there.

I believe that SD card does not matter
Let me tell you, The Unrevoked team is a great team. i give them all credit for actually rooting the device. There is still some bugs, im trying to fix those bugs, and provide help how to do that. And I do believe any card can be done on any pc. If your experiencing problems, i might be able to help. Recovery status is easy to achieve if you follow directions. They are wrong about SD cards playing a role though, this is a misguided conception. As my card is one of the hardest cards to get working and practically no one has it.

I've already tried this exact method of getting into adb recovery for like past 2 days, my phone just will not co-operate with me.
The root method with the program is awesome, I told mDawg this in TRC the other night... All i'm saying is it doesn't help people who cant get into adb recovery.
I have all the correct drivers installed, because i can use adb shell and android screen monitor to take screen shots fine when the phone is on.
But my phone will not go into adb recovery no matter what i try, I have tried using 2 different sd cards, 8GB Kingston Class 4 and the 2GB that came with the phone, tried formating in FAT, FAT32, and even filling the cards up with junk.
I'm not shutting you down in anyway, trust me, I would love for this to work for me, but It will not let me into adb recovery no matter what i try, I'm on windows Vista Home 32 and just not having any luck, so you saying this will work every time with any card just isn't true.
Anyways, i hope this does help people.
Sorry to post on both forums, but I'm registered on both just like you, so just put it on both.
No disregards at all honest.

Basically you just got lucky I think, it's happened to others, there is defo something conflicting the results.
might want to change the title of the thread to "Fool Proof" instead of "Full Proof"... otherwise you may be considered a fool for more than one reason.
It is full proof and I will be happy to help anyone who needs it and has windows

sorry it didn't work for me...the only thing that came close was formatting my card to ext4 but the I had permission issues in linux trying to push the files. That was once and now I can't get into recovery shell again.

Permissions? Writing to SD shouldn't require elevated permissions. Anyhow, set up two partitions on the SDcard: ext4 (or another linux partition, shouldn't matter--try something crazy like XFS or reiserFS , followed by a FAT32 partition. I believe the linux partition should give you the 5s race window you're looking for, then you'll have a mounted FAT32 to put the decoy update.zip which recovery will read from when payload is pushed.
What OS are you using to make ext4? PM me if you have more questions, or my gtalk is rynosaur74. Anyone who has questions can contact me: I was a 5-day headache person until yesterday
FYI Sorry to say it is NOT that easy for me. My sdcards will only work if I leave them out until after I start recovery and insert at the sound. I have tried you method and I don't think I'd call if "Full Proof". I know I have the correct driver and the updated lines in the .inf file, because I have rooted my phone. Unfortunatly, I have to use the card insert method, which is a little tricky.
Nice try but I gotta tell you, I think your title is a little misleading.

I appreciate you taking the time to post, but this method didn't work for me (though none of the others have either). I really do wish there was a fool-proof, non-sd card dependent method
Ive discovered something
Ive found out with most of the people that ive helped in the chat room of mine, that you guys have your drivers wrong installed. See when I go into device manager on my computer it says Android USB Devices- My HTC
Make sure your computer has those drivers just like that.
here is what you should have your computer looks like!

I've created a file explorer to manage Android devices.
Latest Version: v0.3.1
http://code.google.com/p/adb-file-explorer/
See Google Code page for full details.
Features:
Explore filesystem, push/pull files, mkdir, rm, mv, run shell commands, single/bulk app installer.
Compatible with Android ports (e.g. HTC Vogue).
Plenty more to come.
You will need to place adb.exe in C:\Windows\System32 and have the drivers installed. May take a few seconds to load if ADB is not running.
Please report all bugs on the google code page.

No idea about wine, I might test it when I release a more stable version. If you can get IE and office working in wine then I don't see why you can't get this working.
as far as making a version for linux, i really want to, but i have no experience whatsoever as far as making a graphical interface for linux.... if you can point me in a right direction and a good tutorial or two, i can pick it up in less than a day and work on it. btw, im very skilled with linux and bla bla bla, including programming, but never really wanted to make a graphical front end for anything, and never cared because i am more of a console guy; a graphic version would be nice though

You'll get the 'error: device offlin' error when the phone isn't plugged in, I haven't got round to handling errors yet.
Try plugging the phone in, going into a command prompt (start > run > cmd) and type 'adb devices' if you phone shows up there then open the program and it should work.
Which file/folder were you pushing to get the permission denied error?
Could try another remount or even closing and reopening the app then remounting.
If you could give the exact steps you took to produce the error that would be great!

I wrote this basic little application to help out those who are either afraid of the command prompt or simply just don't want to deal with it. Drop it in the same folder as adb and run it.
Feel free to leave feedback or contact me with any questions/comments.

If people decide they like this, I will continue development and add some new features to it.
Check out the Readme.txt for more information and detailed explanations.
Thank you, I had rooted mine before using the command prompt, your application save me time on taking off the battery and waiting for reboot. Thanks again.

Glad to see people are finding it useful. Expect a CityID removal button in the near future.
where exactly do we drop this? what's the path?
As the OP stated, place this program in the same folder as adb, so depending on where your sdk is located it might go in C:\sdk\tools\
what's the adb?

When will option be avail to remove cityid? that is big reason for me to root.
also please explain more on where to find adb folder?

well I'm stuck. tried several cards tried all the methods and still no go. It goes to the screen with the red triangle and dead ends. and after that it just says cant open cache recovery command guess im screwed oh well thanx for posting all the steps you guys went through effen pisses me off though
Has anyone used this and has it worked. I've tried every method on every site and nothing, I'm going to try this when I get home from work.
Hey guys, sorry if there's been any confusion.
This app will not make ADB start up in recovery. That's still something that we still have to achieve to get any of this to work.
Peronally I used the Kingston 4GB Class 4 card and it works pretty much almost every single time I just do a simple adb reboot.
This application was designed to make the rooting process a quick and painless command prompt-less process after you achieve adb running in recovery mode. I used this on my friend's Incredible and the rooting process took me literally 30 seconds to complete.

I used a SanDisk 2GB works everytime.
After your in recovery mode and have clicked the Step 3: button "Check for ADB In Recovery".
If you get the "sorry adb not running" message try this:
Unplug your usb cord from the device and remove your battery.
Replace your battery and hold down the volume- key and press the power button.
Highlight Recovery as soon as possible.
Plug the usb cord back in and press the power button at the same time.
Note: If you hear a noise when you plugged in the usb cord before you see the black Recovery screen you did it wrong.
Click the Step 3: button one to five times.
If it doesn't work try it again or try a different SD card.
Touch thanks for all the help Bro. My incredible is just a stubborn ***** LOL Great job on the windows app
Team,
This One-Click Root process will copy over the rooted-update.zip or unroot-update.zip file then reboot your phone. Follow the instructions in the CMD prompt that launches.
Credits:
LeshaK at Samdroid: for the original rooted-update.zip.
gunnarhafdal : for creating the Mac GUI for my app.
This has been tested on stock Android 2.1 Eclair only. If you rooted using another process you can use this process to unroot as long as you didnt load a rom that created links to busybox.
For the following models:
GT-I9000
Captivate SHG-I897
Vibrant SGH-959
GT-I9000M
Epic SPH-D700 (Untested but should work like other phones. Post with your results. This is harmless it will either work or it wont. It copies over 3 files to your existing build.)
Rooting adds the following to your system and unrooting removes them:
/system/xbin/busybox (version 1.17.1)
/system/xbin/su
/system/app/Superuser.apk (version 2.3.1)
and links /system/bin/su to /system/xbin/su
More will follow as they are released. PM me to add your Galaxy S Model.
Warning: I am not responsible for bricked phones, rooting can void your warranty....

Un-Rooting Instructions:
To Un-Root follow the same instructions except click on the Un-root button. If you rooted using another process you can use this process to un-root as long as you didnt load a rom that created links to busybox. I would suggest to restore you phone back to stock ROM before even needing to unroot and if you are on stock un-root all you want otherwise what is the point of un-rooting.

So is this actually faster? Or just "easier" not to mess up...
sounds like more work than just DLing, moving, and renaming with your phone... expecially for those without a comp...
anyway, this method has been added to the sticky in dev section..

I'd say its easier to not mess up. Faster for sure, if you already have the drivers installed.
This is for our newer brethren or anyone else that want a straight forward root method. And for those having trouble entering recovery from the button presses. ADB is bundled in the rar file so you don't need Android SDK.
Another thing that will help most is when I add unroot to the app which I should have completed tomorrow.
Doon2 asked for it, so here it is.
I appreciate the effort and skill...
BUT, how is this easier than downloading a file directly to your phone, renaming it and putting it at the root of your sd card and going to recovery?

Good question because that is what I do. Just an alternative method. The upcoming unroot will probably be more helpful to some.
But this method will help some for sure. It will download it to your phone for ya and put you in recovery. Well most of the other phones have it so why not ours.
Someone made the request and here it is. I will also be adding other tweaks to the app over time and useful info after rooting to this thread.

I know what you mean. I'm still used to holding down the buttons until the recovery screen pops up like on my G1. On the Vibrant, I have to remind myself to let go of the buttons as soon as the "Vibrant" screen comes up.
Yes, the overall process involved to use this program is longer, involves more steps, and, therefore, easier to screw up. Also, the fact that you have to download more than one file increases the chances of messing something up because of the possibility of corrupted files. Also, the "flash in recovery" method is OS agnostic, and technically doesn't even require a computer since you can download and rename the zip file right on your phone if you want to. Still, it's very easy to follow and would appeal to those who are new to rooting and don't feel comfortable with booting into recovery mode.
Updated the app to include unroot. Created a new update.zip file that will remove root. Also fixed the CMD shell launching minimized.
Lets see the java port. or even an APK to do so

Wish I had seen this a few hours ago! Just spent 30mins trying to get the button presses right to get into recovery mode before I finally got it.

Why fuss with button pushes, just enable debugging, plug in your phone, open a command prompt and type the following
Code:
adb reboot recovery
It's easier than messing with those buttons I assure you.

I haver modified a lot of stuff to get it all to work in this, and have even created a few of the things in this multi-tool. HOWEVER, it is more of a compilation, to make it easier for lazy people like me.
NOTE: NO ONE BUT YOU IS RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR DEVICE, NOT ME, NOT ANYONE, YOU!
So I present to you the SGS Vibrant Multi Tool. (GUI coming soon, hopefully)

Released source. OP updated to reflect this. You will need the stuff that comes in the release as well as the program relys on system("**.bat") to function. Someone here wanted the source so here ya go. Make it better community. I don't have the time, just got a call back to work for next week. (Been laid off a while.)
Oh yea C++. http://gist.github.com/555120
Thanks Man for putting this together great job !!
I keep getting "Installation Aborted" when trying to flash the Samung S boot/shutdown. I hate the Tmobile one. I do see the udpate.zip on the internal card. If it matters, I did flash clockwork recovery before this.
I did the remove sounds, then tried the flash with no luck.

testing it now. confirmed it doesn't work, i had assumed it was properly signed based on my memory of it, but it turns out i was mistaken.
What you can do in the mean time because it might be a while until I get it fixed, is push the boot/shutdown file to your phone and change the update.zip files name, restore clockwork and flash through clockwork.... I am updating the files to reflect this.
It will be working in v0.9 so go ahead and redownload if you see that. Also coming in v0.9 option to install drivers for phone. And maybe more, who knows.
Out of curiosity, which version of superuser is included with this package?

Thats very odd, it is in the folder /utils/ right?
It oughta work just the way it is, however, I do have adb (android-sdk/tools) in my PATH so I guess that might be it.

I didn't see that mentioned in the original post. I extract the .rar onto the phone to /utils? Then run it from there using windows?
TY in advance.
no it can be in any directory, i think i know what the problem is, it is just before bed where i am. i will fix it tomorrow after work and release. i am pretty sure i know what is wrong.
I am getting the same adb error. Maybe my adb path? (c:\android-sdk-windows\tools)

I'm still not understanding where to put the "Vibrant MultiTool" folder to get it to work. Do I put it on the SD card, or on the phone? Do I copy over everything in that folder which contains a "utils" folder along with the MultiTool app?
Thanks for the help.
Edit: This tool is outdated. Use at your own risk and with your own discretion.
Is there a replacement?
You should probably mention that it's outdated in your post that sends people here:
[Root Users] One Click Audio Start Up Noise Removal / Replacement (can't post a link)
(that script doesn't work either)
If I had a third leg, I would be kicking myself in the butt right now.
I installed ESET mobile security in my tab. I just did it without reading the reviews because I use it at home and love it. It's the first time and last time that I don't carefully read the reviews.
I left the tab unattended and on for a few hours yesterday and when I picked it up, ESET had locked it. I tried the password and it doesn't work. Yes, I am typing the correct one. I am not the first person to have this problem.
You can add a phone number for a trusted person. The password can be reset by that person but I didn't put a number in. Apparently, if I had done that my friend would have been bombarded with texts saying that my tab had been stolen.
ESET is aware of the problem. There are people on their support forums begging for help and they're not answering.
This is what I have tried so far:
Someone in the ESET forums said to go in through adb and remove the eset.apk file. It is located in /data/app. I can't do that. I typed adb devices and nothing is attached.
I booted into recovery and typed adb devices. It recognizes the device, but won't allow me to run any commands. So, I know that my adb drivers are working.
Any suggestions? I am thinking about wiping it, but that may not work either since it is security software.
Thanks.
Can you run adb shell from recovery?
Boot into recovery and try the adb devices. then type adb root to reboot the daemon with root priv just in case and then try the adb pull /data/app/eset.apk (or whatever it is).

No, that's the problem. I can type adb devices in recovery and see the tab, but I can't run any commands. They just hang.
If I type adb devices, I get a number, which is the tab and it says recovery beside that.
If I'm not in recovery and type adb devices, it can't find the tab.
Thanks anyhow.

Thanks, but adb root just hangs too.
I'm really disappointed with these guys. Apparently, this has been a known issue for months. Why wouldn't they pull the download until it's fixed?
The mod on the ESET forum said to call tech support. I guess that I will have to wait until tomorrow.
Thanks for the help. I'll be back tomorrow after I talk to tech support.
if u ca go through recovery then why u dont wipe the whole damn data ????? then the apk will GONE , correct me if im mistaken , but your problem ain't that hard !!! to use adb >|<
if you can get into recovery, k0sh is right.. just do a data/cache wipe and you should be good to go.

Well, yeah, that's what I ended up doing. I was just hoping that there was some way around this. And quite frankly, I didn't know how persistent the software was. Some of this security software will even survive a wipe.
According to ESET, with some devices, you can simply wipe the data cache from recovery and it will reboot and allow you to change the password. If someone had known that, it would have been much easier than wiping and I could have done it last night. Unfortunately, it didn't work for the Galaxy. I had to get a little uh, assertive to get that out of them. The first guy wouldn't tell me anything. I got that from his supervisor.
No need to be like that. If I could save someone a ton of work, I'd do it, but that's just me.
Anyhow, just stay away from this software. The release candidate is out now and apparently this problem still has to be fixed. Unbelievable. They've been bricking people's stuff for months.

That's seriously sad that a software company would have a known issue like that, and not at least post a warning, or a "if this happens, do this..." think companies gave up having their own Q/A dept's and just push crap software out on their users/customers to "test" then patch after they find out how bad it really is.

I just googled how to try to do this. And a wipe is what you had to do? Thats just f*cked. This has not been my week seriously! I had to Malware apps on my system (one attempting to send premium sms *hidden* but was showing up in logcat the f%#*ing c*%#t of a thing. I used ESET to get back on my feet, thats all fine and good. I got everything back to square one all working good. Did a backup and everything.....oohh yeah I totally did a backup of ESET installed DIDN'T I!!,
Thats all well and good I removed it......but totally forgot about it being inside my backup. I flashed my own theme that I have been toying with and naturally we all know that if you go forward an Android version you're SOL to try restore aka roll back your system when the system apks have updated the databases.....Thats ok I will just do a restore! I am a good boy and did both a Nandroid backup AND a titanium backup.
Well, Titanium fails because it cannot write data to a newer db either, you short of phyically using root explorer and plonking each of the olver 4.12 databases in each and every app then it ain't guna happen.
So restored from my perfectly good Nandroid backup in recovery and all was sweet as till I a noticed ESET in there. I am like, I will just uninstall it! NOPE!
Guess what. This stupid app has a bug in the reset password. I saved my encrypted password inside of password safe and it still rejects the original password. ADB ignores my commands even in recovery! Actually it is like it processes, but soon as I adb shell, SU, then chdir data/app and then ls I STILL F*%#ING SEE ESET!!!! I even use the exact name I see of com.eset.ems-1.apk
Is there no way to remove this ar$ehole of a thing? Seriously I am so close to loosing it at the moment. I am meant to be working.....and that means building apps! That is my job at the moment....to build apps. And to test them on proper phone before going to Telstra on Wednesday!
I am right royally screwed. The Nandroid that I have is pretty much the only one that I can use too. I cannot affort to do a wipe right now. I can't be fart ar$ing around re-setting up my device. I already wasted time last week doing that after 2 Malware apps got in my system.
Screw you ESET.
Does adb pull actually take the apk from the device or does it pull a copy to the PC? I was under the impressing that adb pull made a copy and adb push overwrites the app?
Heeeeeey!!!! I got it. I will make a dummy apk and push write over the top of this prick and see what happens? Man I am furious right now
---------- Post added at 11:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 PM ----------
HHHHOOOOOOORAAAAAAAYYY!!! GONE
ADB doesn't do ****. Simple fix was easy.
I just wrote a script that I flashed from recovery that deletes that sucker.
HTML:
ui_print("Removing ESET");
show_progress(1, 15);
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/data");
delete("/data/app/com.eset.ems-1.apk");
delete("/data/app/com.eset.ems.apk");
ui_print("Everything is finished thank f*ck!....Rebooting");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/data");
reboot
Boy I was glad to see no stupid ESET screen when I unlocked my phone!:victory::victory:
My application has stuck unable to uninstall need help .
I just want to ask you that I have also install eset but now its not opening crash to home screen and message will appears unfortunately Eset mobile Security has stopped .can someone please help me. how do I uninstall this application I have gt-19500 rooted . Its very help full for me thanks indeed .
